MDK2 is a 3rd person shooter (well, mostly) for PC, Dreamcast and Playstation 2 other ports pending from Bioware Corporation. It is very zany, and you play three characters:
- Max: A genetically modified talking dog with 6 legs. He can shoot four guns simultaneously.
- Doc: Doctor Hawkins is a brilliant Genius. Most of his part of the game is made up of puzzles... He can combine objects he finds to make new ones. My favourite is the Atomic Toaster
- Kurt: A janitor-turnedsuper-hero. He was the Star of MDK. He has a special suit made by Hawkins that lets him jump pretty high, glide around, and kill enemies with a sniper rifle from 3 KM away.
MDK2 is one of the craziest/funniest games on the market. The opening sequence involves not only a comic book rendition of MDK, but also Kurt attempting to jump down into the alien ship/tank/thingy (it's HUGE) which is approaching Edmonton (the site of Bioware's HQ), and falling out of the portal by accident. On one of the first Max levels, you can shoot through a window and kill a window-wiper out in space.
One of the only critisms of MDK2 is that it is very linear, not so much in gameplay (it is possible on some levels to "win" several ways, or at least it seems like it), but that each level and character comes consecutively.
